fix(query,db,cli): a live query now declares the table it subscribes to, and drift stops reporting what a migration created - #380
Merged
Conversation
…to, and drift stops reporting what a migration created Two issues, and a third defect found on the way that was worse than either. ## #357 — REPLICA IDENTITY FULL was checked by realtime and emitted by nothing A scaffolded app declaring a live query generated a schema its own preflight rejects. Fails in production, not at boot — the third face of the declared-and-never-wired class, after `jobs.driver` and `packages/auth/src/tables.ts`. **The repo's own plan for this was wrong, and that is why it had not been fixed.** `packages/db/CLAUDE.md` said the set is "derived from the `live: true` queries in the manifest". It cannot be derived. The relation name is a string inside the query's `sql:` callback — `from<PostSummary>('posts', …)` inside `sql: ({ orgId, limit }) => …` — and no generator can invoke that without valid input. `liveFeed` requires `{ orgId: t.uuid, limit }`. `packages/query/src/sql.ts` already said so about itself: "`null` when no sample input was supplied". `QueryDescriptor` and `QueryFact` both carried no table at all. So a live query now DECLARES it — `subscribes: ['posts']`, optional, surfaced onto `QueryFact` — and the declaration is CHECKED, not trusted: `toLiveQuery` refuses at the first subscribe when the resolved shape is not among the declared names. A hand-kept declaration nothing verifies would have been the same defect in a new costume. Refuse rather than warn, and the counter-argument does not survive the mechanism: a stale declaration means `x db gen` already granted the identity to the WRONG table, so the right one carries the default, `UPDATE` arrives with no old row, and no patch is computable. The feature is already down. Warning would preserve a subscription that silently stops updating. `assertMatchable` one line above refuses for exactly this reason. Three refusals, one per tier that can see something the others cannot: `X_QUERY_SUBSCRIBES_INVALID` at `query()`, `X_QUERY_SUBSCRIBES_DRIFT` at first subscribe, and `X_QUERY_SUBSCRIBES_UNKNOWN` at generation — the last is the CLI's because only tier 5 holds the manifest and the entity registry at once, and without it a name matching no entity is dropped silently and the identity is granted to nothing. The snapshot records the fact as `TableDescription.replicaIdentityFull?: true` — `true` or absent, never `false`, the literal type being the enforcement — so the ALTER is emitted once. It records the UNION with what is already there: `x db gen` is reached from paths that pass no set, and without the union any of them would erase the fact and the next run would re-emit forever. ## #345 — a hand-written migration's tables were permanent drift `checkDrift` reported them `unexpected-table` on every deploy, and the printed fix generated an EMPTY migration because both sides of the diff were blind to the table. **The wording half had already shipped against a caller nobody wrote.** `drift-findings.ts` already printed "x db migrate then accepts a table its own SQL creates" and its doc block already named `acceptCreatedTables` — while `grep -rn acceptCreatedTables` returned three prose references and no definition. The error message described a function that did not exist. `acceptCreatedTables` drops ONLY `unexpected-table`, and only for a relation a migration's own SQL creates. Fails closed on every ambiguity — a comment between the keywords, `create temp table`, a foreign schema qualifier. The test that matters is the negative one: a table NOTHING creates is still reported, whole difference intact. ## The one nobody filed: the dev replicator forwarded nothing `dev-replicator.ts` passed entity NAMES where table names are compared. Both readers are catalog readers — `pg-replication.ts:358` keeps a change only when `#entities.has(relation.name)`, and that is the table — so on an app with a renamed table the replicator took the `skipped += 1` branch for EVERY change on it and forwarded none. Silent. No error anywhere. Its own test file claimed to pin this and could not: with the defect restored, 5 of 8 tests still passed, including "the entity list comes from the app registry, so the feed filters what the app declared". `table` defaults to the entity name verbatim, so all six entities in `examples/dummy` have `name === table` and no fixture built from them can tell fix from bug. The new fixture uses `billingAccount` on `billing_accounts`. ## Two tests that could not fail, found by mutation - `packages/db/src/ungeneratable.test.ts`'s corpus called `generateMigration` WITHOUT `replicaIdentityFull`, so "nothing we emit is reported" held vacuously for the one form that needed it — which is exactly how the generator came to emit SQL its own rail then reported as ungeneratable. - `db-accept-created.ts`'s first draft ran the create-table decision through `stripSqlNoise`; mutating that away left the suite green, because position 0 is the one position no comment or literal can cover. Deleted rather than kept as an untestable defence. `packages/cli/src/db-ungeneratable.test.ts` used the REPLICA IDENTITY statement as its stand-in for "a statement the generator cannot write". It is now a `create trigger`, which has no entity declaration behind it in any shape this framework has. `examples/dummy`'s `-- ungeneratable:` marker goes 7 -> 5 and both ALTERs stop being counted — including `likes`, which no live query subscribes to: the classifier reads the leading verb phrase and deliberately does not judge a body, so it cannot tell them apart. The migration's comment claimed both were "derived from `live: true` queries"; that was never true of `likes`, which is kept by hand.

In `@packages/cli/src/db-accept-created.ts`:
- Around line 112-115: Update the migration-owned relation tracking around
createdTables and the differences filter so ownership reflects migration order:
remove relations when later migrations drop or rename them, and accept
unexpected-table findings only for relations still owned by applied migrations.
Add a regression test covering create, drop, then manual recreation, while
preserving acceptance for currently migration-created tables.
In `@packages/cli/src/db-subscribes.test.ts`:
- Around line 21-23: Update the tempRoot helper to read TMPDIR from Bun.env
instead of process.env, while preserving the existing /tmp fallback and
generated fixture path.
In `@packages/cli/src/db-ungeneratable.ts`:
- Around line 70-74: Update the explanatory comment around GENERATABLE_FORMS to
reflect that committed REPLICA IDENTITY ALTER statements are not counted as
ungeneratable, matching the migrations.test.ts behavior and x db gen output;
remove the stale marker guidance rather than suggesting unnecessary --
ungeneratable declarations.
In `@packages/db/CLAUDE.md`:
- Around line 1013-1025: Update the documentation around
GenerateOptions.replicaIdentityFull and db-generate.ts to state that
describeQueries() provides the resolved table set to generateMigration(), while
x.manifest.json only projects the same subscribes declaration. Clarify that the
declaration is defined once by each live query’s subscribes value and projected
to both consumers, without claiming the CLI caller reads the manifest.
In `@packages/db/src/ungeneratable.ts`:
- Around line 62-69: Update the “alter table … replica identity” pattern in the
ungeneratable statement list to match only generator-emitted FULL and DEFAULT
modes, excluding USING INDEX. Preserve recognition of generated statements from
GenerateOptions.replicaIdentityFull while allowing hand-written identity-index
statements to remain generatable.
In `@packages/query/src/errors.ts`:
- Around line 268-271: Update QuerySubscribesInvalidError and
QuerySubscribesDriftError so every fix branch contains an exact executable,
JSON-capable remediation command rather than prose. Ensure each CLI command
includes the JSON option, including the schema-generation command, and preserve
stable X_* error codes and causes on every thrown error.
Apply the same fix in `@packages/cli/src/db-subscribes.ts` around lines 47 - 50:
The CLI-specific invalid-declaration fix has the same non-runnable,
non-JSON-capable format.
In `@packages/query/src/query.ts`:
- Line 262: In the query build flow around assertSubscribes and registration,
clone def.subscribes into a frozen snapshot before validation and registration,
and use that snapshot for subsequent descriptor storage and consumers such as
manifest generation and replicaIdentityTables(). Add a regression test that
mutates the original subscribes array after query() returns and verifies the
registered descriptor remains unchanged.

Make every rejection's fix field a directly runnable JSON-capable command. The current invalid and drift paths include prose in fix and omit --json, so automated callers cannot execute the advertised repair. Move explanatory guidance into cause or a shell comment, and ensure each fix starts with the appropriate command and includes --json.

…nd two over-wide matches CodeRabbit round on #380. Six of seven fixed; the seventh is contradicted by the package's own convention. **The Major one silenced real drift, which is the one thing this PR may not do.** `acceptCreatedTables` built `created` as a UNION over every migration, so a name any `create table` ever wrote stayed accepted forever. `create table legacy_audit` in 0001 and `drop table legacy_audit` in 0002 left `legacy_audit` accepted — laundering a table somebody re-created BY HAND into one the check no longer reports. Ownership is now a running state folded in statement order across the whole list: a `create` adds, a `drop` removes (comma lists included), and a `rename to` moves ownership only when the OLD name was owned — so renaming a hand-made table into a name a migration once created does not launder it either. Reverting to the union turns 3 tests red; dropping the rename arm turns 1 red. **A regex of mine was over-wide in the dangerous direction.** `GENERATABLE_FORMS`' new entry matched `replica identity` in any mode, but `replicaIdentityPlan` emits only `full` and `default`. So a hand-written `replica identity using index` or `nothing` read as generatable, and a squash would have discarded the replication configuration in silence. Narrowed to the two modes the generator actually writes. **A comment I wrote an hour earlier was already false.** `db-ungeneratable.ts` carried a measured caveat saying a committed ALTER is still counted "until that entry lands" — and the entry landed in this same PR, later the same day. It now states the post-entry counts (7/7 before, 5/5 after) and that `using index`/`nothing` stay counted. **`subscribes` is snapshotted and frozen before registration.** `build()` stores the def and `facadeFor()` exposes the same array, so a caller holding the literal could mutate the list AFTER `query()` validated it — and that list is what the manifest publishes and what `x db gen` grants REPLICA IDENTITY FULL from. Also: `Bun.env` for `TMPDIR` (the Bun-only rule), and `packages/db/CLAUDE.md` now says the caller reads `describeQueries()` rather than `x.manifest.json` — the manifest projects the same declaration, but `appManifest(root)` calls `appIdentity(root)`, which throws where there is no `package.json`, and `x db gen` has never needed one. **Declined:** "make every query rejection's `fix:` a runnable `--json` command". The package's own convention is the opposite — `errors.ts` lines 97, 113, 131 and 153 are all edits ("declare it as…", "flatten the key…", "set `cache: { ttlMs }`…"), and only one of six is a command. Both new codes are repaired by editing a declaration, so an edit is what the fix names. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Six of seven fixed. The seventh is contradicted by the package's own convention. The Major one was right, and it silenced real drift
Ownership is now a running state, folded in statement order across the whole list:
Five new tests: create→drop→manual recreate, create→drop→recreate-by-migration, comma-list drop, rename in both directions, and A regex of mine was over-wide in the dangerous directionCorrect, and thank you — A comment I wrote an hour earlier was already false
